Review on The Riverside Hotel

There are unrivalled views of the River Trent from Branston's aptly named Riverside Hotel, and the venue has its own private island, moorings and a fishing licence for those guests who want to catch their own supper. Not surprisingly it is a favourite for conferences, special events and weddings. Lovers of the great outdoors might also like to know that Branston Water Park is just a short drive away.

Steaks and deli boards are also popular, and a range of 'light bits, platters and sharers' feed the daytime crowds (till 5.00pm Mon-Sat). Finely tuned service and a globetrotting wine list complete the picture.
